“Half man. Half ant. All terror.” About to watch Matinee on the IMAX Mega Screen at @CineRedis. Haven’t seen it since 1993.

Today’s films at @cineredis.bsky.social. All first time watches.

In Bristol for the first four days of @cineredis.bsky.social.

Delighted to be able to announce the line-up for my third Noirvember mini-season at The Chiswick Cinema. Particularly pleased to be screening both Farewell, My Lovely and The Narrow Margin. Book early to avoid disappointment, etc. Tickets available here: www.chiswickcinema.co.uk/noirvember-2...

Boris effing Johnson was sat at the end of my row. I’m assuming that’s because he wasn’t invited to the premiere.

Pringles, you absolute BASTARDS. You know I’m powerless to resist anything with “Limited Edition” on the packaging.

Please join me for my third season of classic film noir at The Chiswick Cinema this November!

Hitchcock’s home movies in the Piazza Maggiore. It is somehow really gratifying to discover that even Hitchcock was capable of putting his thumb over the lens sometimes. #Ritrovato

Also yesterday: a rewatch of Baby Face (1933), which is somehow still shocking, even on a third watch. Pleased to say it was the Nietzchean cut. #Ritrovato

Day Three of Il Cinema Ritrovato. First up today: La Bugiarda. #Ritrovato

Next up: The Long Memory (1953). #Ritrovato

Next up: Ten Dark Women (1961). Irresistible synopsis: “A man has a wife and nine girlfriends, all ten of whom are fed up with his shameless polygamy and plot to kill him.” #Ritrovato

Volcano movie entirely appropriate for this heat.

Next up: some volcano action from 100 years ago, with The Last Days of Pompeii (1926). #Ritrovato

First up this morning: Sick Abed (1920). #Ritrovato

😃

First up: a midnight screening of Plan 9 From Outer Space. #Ritrovato

Start as you mean to go on, etc. Lemon and Raspberry. #RitrovatoGelato

Took a chance on a different hotel. Pleased to report it’s not too bad. It has AIRCON! Let joy be unconfined etc.

“TRUE CONFESSIONS of a Cheap, Coarse, Tawdry Woman about whom everybody WHISPERED!” #Stellaaa #Ritrovato

Really wanted to see Stella Dallas on the big screen, but the *only* screening of it clashed with something I hadn’t seen. Watched it on the plane over instead. Totally counting it. #Ritrovato

Slightly disappointed that I’d already seen all the Stanwycks in the program, but I am really looking forward to seeing Forty Guns on the big screen. #Ritrovato

In Bologna for Il Cinema Ritrovato. Will attempt equal balance in thread between films and gelato, but no promises. #IlCinemaRitrovato #RitrovatoGelato #Bologna
